If the "my Graduation" tab isn't available please send an email to awarding@brunel.ac.uk with the subject heading of "my graduation - (student number).

Why do I need to respond?

It is important to inform the University if you wish to attend so that appropriate arrangements are made regarding your attendance or absence status.

Responding also enables you to:

secure visa support letters for you and your guests

ensure your attendance and guest tickets

It is as important to inform the University that you will not be attending as it is that you will be attending.

If you are not planning to attend, in addition to responding to the graduation you will also need to complete the eVision certificatetask. This is so that arrangements can be made to send your certificate to you without delay following your ceremony. The eVision task is available in the “my Course> View Award” tabs. If you have any problems logging in to your eVision account then please contact our student centre via email; student.centre@brunel.ac.uk or by phone on; +44 (0)1895 268268 and they will be able to assist you. If you do not request your certificate it will not be automatically produced.

If you do not wish to attend and do not reply to the invitation, there may be a delay in your certificate being available regardless of when you completed the certificate task.

Please note non-attendance will not automatically make you eligible for future ceremonies.

Deferral requests are granted in exceptional circumstances and if you wish to defer to the next available ceremony please awarding@brunel.ac.uk with a short description and reason for requesting deferral; students will be informed of the decision as soon as possible.

What is the deadline for responding?

In order for you to take part in your ceremony and to sit with your peers as well as guaranteeing two guest tickets (charged at £26 each) for your ceremony, you will need to complete your invitation task by Midnight on Monday 25th June 2018.

If you miss the initial deadline you will be seated to one side of the main student body and there will be no advance guest ticket allocation.

If you have completed the task and requested tickets you will have until the 10am on Monday 9th July2018 to pay for any allocated guest tickets. After this time, unpaid ticket allocations will be returned to the pool for re-allocation;

- This year there will be a Second Allocation taking place from Tuesday 10th July 2018to 7am on Thursday 12th July2018. During which you can request additional guest tickets in addition to those tickets you have already paid for.

- At this Second Allocation stage, please check your eVision account for second allocation details. You will be able to make payment for this second allocation from Thursday 12th July 2018 until the day before your ceremony.

What information will I need to give in the invitation?

In the invitation you will be asked to:

Confirm either your attendance or non-attendance

Update contact details for future Graduation correspondence

Apply for guest tickets

Request Invitation Letters to support you or your guests' visa application

Inform the University if you or any of your guests have additional requirements relating to disability

What will happen if I don't reply?

If you do not reply to your Graduation Invitation Task and you want to attend your ceremony, it will not be possible to accommodate you on the day as you will not have been allocated a seat.

Without replying to the invitation you are not able to request any guest tickets.

If you do not wish to attend but do not reply to both your invitation and certificate tasks, there will be a delay in the University being able to make your certificate available. The eVision task is available in the “my Course> View Award” tabs. If you have any problems logging in to your eVision account then please contact our student centre via email; student.centre@brunel.ac.uk or by phone on; +44 (0)1895 268268 and they will be able to assist you. If you do not request your certificate it will not be automatically produced.
